Selling a 10+ year DJ - recoup RSC costs?

[Cru Jones]

In my never-ending quest to evaluate all the possible routes to take with my 1997 TT DJ, here's another question for you....

Assuming I am unable to find the box and papers, is a +/- €500 trip to the RSC a worthwhile investment to get a good/fair price? Note that this watch has never been serviced (hasn't been worn a lot, but, buyers won't necessarily believe that.)

Pros: get some documentation; watch will be shiny and new; buyer gets comfort of 2-year warranty (right?)

Cons: since I'm guessing I might see €1,500-2,000 for the watch, spending €500 on RSC seems like a big expenditure....(unless, of course, the expected sale price would be more than €500).

Thoughts?

Thanks (again).........
